the reason im asking is that i need to move and must set a price for all this so i was wondering if someone had an idea of a fair price ?

I know it's a bit off topic but i want you to be sure that im not doing some publicity or some kind of selling... just asking a question about a GAMING rig price.

On a fresh reload with all patches. Assuming the games all have CDs and keys with them. And having all your drivers CDs and manuals. Basically pristine condition. I'd say about $1800 out of the paper. $1600 for a friend

Without some of the stuff, CDs etc.. Without a reload but maybe just deleting your stuff off. I'd say $1500 or $1600. But for me, $250. What do you say!

 

[peacefull76]

all the games has their CDs and keys
i got audition installed with that (250 dollars value)
i got all half life games (not the second one though)
i've got other games but they are only copies
NWN
GTA3
Step mania with a s*** load of songs
stronghold
max payne

i might still have my FFXI account with a lvl 28 hume

btw are we talking about CAN dollar or US?

 

[Vigilante]

I'm sorry for taking so long. Just in case you are still wondering. I was talking US dollars.
Unfortunately, at least around here, software bundles don't matter as much unless you're talking a full Office version or Macromedia studio. I would think that most people who are buying a system like this (gaming machine) are not as concerned with what programs it comes with. Cause they likely have all their own anyway. So don't expect to get much for your software.

Mmmm

Well you have several options on what and how you can sell this PC.
1) Find a family member or E-bayer would pay maybe a few more.
The software excpet a few games are nothing but with all the high end items no less than $1700.

Put it on E-bay listed start price 1500 for 10days. I could ask around to see if some of my buddies are intreseted. In the real world of PC's unless it has Alienware on it or a real great PC Co. Dell, Compaq. It is hard to achieve a good price but not impossiable though. Oh by the way what did you have in mind about a price?

[peacefull76]

actually i was thinking about something around 2000 canadian dollars and over wich is around 1650 but the more i can get, the better.

 

[RXR Ranger69]

Well if you get 1650 american you have done a great job! again I would post it in E-bay or newspaper. I just reviewed your list of PC items your hard drive is only 40gig? If you post it in E-bay I would make sure to include "you may remove this item without notice at any time and not held liable for this action."

Coputer Price

The best way to sell a comp is in person most average people will not have a use for your rig..most people cant afford the video card..being that i buy/sell/trade/build comps my rule of thumb is find the most expensive you could buy the hardware and the cheapest and go from there...most users like i said will have no idea what your talking about and if they do know they can get it cheaper online

AMD 64/fx 55
1GB xms
Geforce 6800 gt/ocd(bfg)
2xwd raptor 10k (raid)
2xwd 120 GB ata
2x memorex double layer dvd
And everygame mentioned in Your post

my rig would let go for 2,300-2,800 us (r u my friend?)

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Please bear in mind that Techspot does not have a buy and sell section.

So, you will have to sell your stuff privately and not through the TS forums.

The guys can certainly give you advice on how much they think your system/s are worth.

Regards Howard :wave: :wave:

The first system that was posted isnt very good ( Well some parts are but the videocard / Hard drive will have to be upgraded to better ones befor he can start making more money )

If you really want to make alot of money you could build a good gaming system ( like the one in my profile ) for $1400 and sell it for about $2400-3000 ( People who dont know how to build computers will buy this )

Or you could build a gaming system like this:

Motherboard:

Processor:

Floppy drive:

It's total is $876 and you could sell it for like $1300

So do you think that you could make some money off buying building and selling computers on ebay?

 

[TimeParadoX]

Yeah I sell on ebay sometimes ( havent sold anything on ebay for like 4 months though ) but if you get the prices set right you can make alot of money

 

[C_Conqueror]

Hmmmmm I might have to look into this. Thanks

 

[verlaist]

1400 fo 2100

Time that is is a wicked good setup you said. I laugh, my brother (who claims to to be smart bought a dell 410) man tha pc spanks it, Dell even lowered his video card on a service call!

 

[TimeParadoX]

Lol so my AM2 system totaly owned his system? I bet he started crying when you were running Oblivion with full qaulity and he couldnt even run Barbie's Dream House on low :haha:

 

[verlaist]

Oh Yes

Your System is mad brilliant! As you see mine is posted here as well. I swear some people think Dell just wont screw them. And owned man, he's the type that can't be wrong. A little tech and no idea on how to build a decent rig! that networking 4 ya!.
